CIA-32ubiquity: stgraber * r5338 ubiquity/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/plugins/ubi-console-setup.py): Directly call change_layout and apply_keyboard instead of using set_keyboard and set_keyboard_variant so that the UI is properly updated.00:15
fabian_hi I have a problem with my current system and thought reinstalling will do the job. I encrypted my home folder in a seperate partition. Just talked to david kirkland. he told me maybe someone here can tell me how to install the new system and use the old home partition which is encrypted00:19
fabian_any ideas?00:23
fabian_nobody here?00:35
fabian_still nobody?00:49

davmor2stgraber, cjwatson: good news the d-i fix for wifi seems to be partially fixed woohoo!  Only issue is I still don't seem to get a list of available AP's  but at least I can continue onto host name now :)13:59
stgraberdavmor2: AFAICT there's no code actually showing you a list in current netcfg13:59
stgraberdavmor2: if you don't enter anything it'll try the first public network14:00
stgraberdavmor2: if you enter something, then it'll try to connect to that and prompt for credentials14:00
davmor2stgraber: ah okay and none around here are public14:00
davmor2stgraber: in that case it probably all works as expected14:00
gemaI found a problem yesterday which I thought was OEM related, but today I am facing it again with a normal resize by default install with ubiquity14:10
gemait leaves the machine out of memory when trying to create the user14:10
stgrabergema: how much memory do you have in that machine?14:14
gemastgraber: it is a netbook, 1 GB14:14
gemastgraber: jibel said that you guys have been trying to reproduce this for a while, well, I have a machine where it happens quite consistently14:14
gemaso I wonder how you want me to proceed14:14
gemastgraber: it happened to me yesterday on a OEM install, and today, with an automatic resize install. I can only install reliably on this machine from alternate14:16
gemastgraber: I was going to try and reproduce on a normal full disk install14:16
stgrabergema: did you already report a bug about it (so we get new log files)?14:16
gemastgraber: but it'd be good to know which files do you want before it runs out of memory, to see if I can save them to the usb stick somehow14:16
gemayes, let me dig it out14:16
gemastgraber: I reported bug 965513 yesterday14:17

cjwatsonstgraber: were your mega-lots-of-installs-in-parallel tests done with "download updates during installation" turned on?15:32
stgrabercjwatson: not sure, I used the preseed that the QA team uses in jenkins, let me check quickly15:35
stgrabercjwatson: can't find any key that seems related to that, no15:36
stgrabercjwatson: if you want I can change that and start another run, I can easily run one in the background without even noticing the extra load15:37
cjwatsonthat would be good if you could, I've been wondering if bug 922949 is reproducible at all15:43

stgrabercjwatson: interesting ... first run failed right after migration-assistant15:52
cjwatsonstgraber: heh, what was the failure?15:54
stgrabercjwatson: not clear and the X server is behaving weirdly in that VM. I'm having it push that to Launchpad so I can have an easy look at the logs15:55

stgrabercjwatson: as for my X weirdness, it seems to be caused by ubiquity-dm not killing X on exit (or not doing it properly), causing me to have two X servers on the same vt apparently16:27

stgrabercjwatson: I'll be happy to run a loop fo install tests with non-free + updates once we have the new ubiquity released and new images, manually patching each of the installs kind of defeat the point of automated testing ;)20:32
jibelstgraber, originally I got this segfault on a laptop booted manually from a usb stick and just got it once on a VM with automated tests.20:35
stgraberjibel: hmm, ok... it might have been another bug or you were really really fast at having ubiquity switch to the next step20:41
stgraberjibel: you basically need to have the gtk window vanish within a 600ms window after you type the last character of your hostname for it to happen20:41
stgraberjibel: however the segfault is apparently a generic "gtk exploded" one, so it may be something else a bit later on that was causing the problem for you20:42
jibelstgraber, it crashed directly on start.20:42
stgraberjibel: ok, directly on start is definitely another bug then20:42
* stgraber checks ubi-language for a similar bug20:42
stgraberI seem to remember seeing a gobject timeout in ubi-language too20:43
stgraberjibel: was network manager trying to connect at that time by any chance?20:44
jibelstgraber, I was at the office, so on wireless without a connection set up20:46
stgraberjibel: ok, I "think" I see what can happen but you need to be really unlucky20:47
stgraberwhen we get network-changed from NM we wait 300ms for another signal, if we don't get any, we poke the plugins, then ubi-language spawns a wget and waits another 300ms20:47
stgraberif by the time all this ends, you switched to the next step, you get a crash20:48
jibelstgraber, even in ubiquity-dm ?20:48
stgraberjibel: yeah20:49
jibelthere was no UI at all, it crashed before the UI starts rendering20:49
stgraberoh20:49
stgraberwell, I suppose it'd be true for the case where the UI doesn't fully exist yet ;)20:49
jibelok, anyway I can't find a way to reproduce it anymore. I tried the images that I know were failing (20120313 amd64) and it works just fine. same laptop, same usb stick, same network, .... :/20:51
